    Even better than the photo I showed him!

    Tom is a true artist! I moved here from LA and struggled to find a decent nail salon. My expectations were exceeded! I'll never go anywhere else. They have a friendly and courteous staff. It's all around a great atmosphere. Prices are fair as well. Highly, highly recommend!

    THANK YOU TOM!!!!

    I just moved from CA to Austin and have been to several nail salons which never came out with good results, especially for the prices I paid and how simple of the designs I always ask for. Today I got my nails done here by TOM. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY NAILS. For the first time ever in my life, they came out exactly the way I wanted! Not only were my nails perfect, but the service was impeccable. Tom has an extroverted personality which perfectly matched mine and he kept up very good conversation (unlike all the other silent and awkward experiences I usually have when I get my nails done). He will do your nails if not exactly the way you want them, but better than what you expect! The rest of the staff were awesome as well and quick to set a last minute appointments for my sister and myself! Overall, this was the best experience I've ever had at a nail salon and even better results with my nails! I definitely won't get my nails done anywhere else or by anyone else! THANKS TOM!!!! SEE YOU AGAIN!!! #acrylics #fullset #nails #perfect #loveit

    I have been coming to Avalon nails for four years now and i've never been disappointed! Tom does amazing nail art that always blows my mind. Sometimes I will just show him a picture and he can easily re-create it, or I can just let him do his own thing it always turns out amazing.

    Tom is incredible! I made an appointment after hearing all the great things about this place and I was not disappointed. I sat down and gave Tom an idea of what I wanted and he gave me everything and more. His attention to detail is impeccable and he made sure I loved each little thing about my nails before I left. By far the best nail salon I've been to.

    I went to another nail salon this morning and asked for ombré nails with sparkles. Train wreck is a pretty fair description (see second picture). I headed over to Avalon to see if they could help. The salon was pretty busy since it was Saturday morning. When I mentioned I was heading out of town, Tom moved things around so he could squeeze me in. The results were beautiful and Tom is my hero!!! Highly highly recommend!!!

    Tracy is the best!! She does my SNS nails. They always look great and they are never too thick. Some places I have been to dip my nails too many times. If you want great looking nails go see hem

    I love my chrome nails.  Seriously never disappointed with the quality or options Avalon provides!

    I will come all the way from downtown Austin to get my nails done here. Reasonable prices at exceptional exceptional quality. Plus, they have so many colors/options to choose from!

    Photo is from 4 years ago + this review was about my experience 2 weeks ago. I have never left a salon crying before until I came here :/ one of the nail techs was in a super bad mood + he was talking to me like I was stupid and was questioning every decision I made concerning my nails. He seemed genuinely upset that I was even in the salon getting my nails done (he was slamming items on the counter, slamming drawers shut, mumbling angrily). I feel like he was purposefully trying to hurt me because he kept on jerking my hand around, bending my fingers back beyond what was comfortable, pinching my skin, and digging the cuticle stick into my skin way too hard. Every time I didn't do something he liked (for example, asking a question), he would groan and roll his eyes at me. I understand that people have bad days, but I feel like the extent at which it affected me was pretty bad. I was so upset at the way I was treated that I cried. I'm not a "Karen", I'm not someone who faults service worker because I understand it's hard. Some days suck, but at the end of the day, they have to do their job with an adequate amount of quality and this experience fell so unbelievably short. Go to Angel Nails and Spa on Cypress Creek and ask for Katie. She is an absolute dream!

    I usually love this place but today I got the worst manicure I've ever had. I gave the (very sweet and friendly) technician lots of instructions, I like them short but still longer than my normal nails, thicker white but NOT 1/2 white 1/2 clear, I SHOWED HER A PICTURE of a really good manicure I had recieved, and that that was exactly what I wanted. My thumbnail is crooked and ridiculously short, the white is too thick, and the lines are very messy. I of course still tipped for her service but am very very displeased with her work.

    I've been getting my nails done by Tom for years now. He has an attitude problem but I don't let it get to me. We have the same dry humor so we get along. I appreciate the work he does. He had an artistic eye and does beautiful acrylics. If you can bare with his attitude I promise you won't regret it.

    Love always having something new & different!

    I visited H & H Nail Salon on February 28th as a walk-in and have been sitting on this review for a…read morelittle while to make sure I reflected fairly on the experience and whether there was anything I may have misunderstood. After giving it some thought, I do believe I clearly communicated what I wanted, and I ultimately feel that I may have been overcharged. To start with the positives, I called ahead to see if they had availability for a walk-in. They told me it would be about 30 minutes, but I was welcome to come early and sit in one of the massage chairs while I waited. I appreciated that and did exactly that. It was relaxing to sit in the chair while they finished with other clients. Once they were ready, my pedicure began. I originally selected a lower-tier service, but the technician explained the Detox Pedicure very well and suggested upgrading. I agreed, and overall the pedicure experience itself was pleasant. While the pedicure was being done, another technician started on my hands with the manicure, but when another walk-in client arrived, that technician left to start a pedicure for the new client. The technician finishing my pedicure then move to her station and continued with my manicure and applied the clear dip. It was a seamless transition and excellent team work. I will say that I did like the quality of her work on my manicure and the dip. However, I did notice something with my pedicure. I had asked for clear polish on my toenails, and while it was drying it looked like some white dust had settled on the polish. I was trying to figure out how to mention it, but when the technician later applied oil to my toenails, the white appearance seemed to disappear and the nails looked glossy, so I assumed it had just needed to be brushed off. When I took a shower later that day my nails looked like I originally saw with a white dusty and matte look to it with some spot shiny. When I went to the register, I was surprised that the total was $130 before tip. I had calculated the $55 Detox Pedicure plus the $45 dip manicure, which I thought would be around $100. I assumed I may have miscalculated and didn't question it at the time, so I paid and left a 20% tip ($26) for a total of $156. When I got to my car and reviewed the receipt, I noticed there was an additional $10 charge listed for a "Cuticle Trim", along with a $20 "Additional Charge". $30 extra on to the bill. At most salons I've been to, the price of a dip manicure already includes the basic manicure prep such as cuticle trimming and nail shaping before the dip is applied. I get my nails done fairly regularly, and this is the first time I've ever been charged a separate and unclear $10 cuticle trim and $20 additional charge fee on top of the dip manicure price. The menu did not clearly indicate this additional charge, and it was never communicated to me beforehand. While I did enjoy the service quality of the manicure and the overall pedicure experience, I was not happy with the final finish of my toenails and was especially disappointed by the lack of transparency in pricing. This experience left me feeling unsettled. Clear communication about pricing, especially additional fees, is important so clients can make informed decisions before services are performed. Unfortunately, I don't feel that happened here. For that I don't plan on returning.

On 12/4 I had a gel manicure and gel pedicure with a referred technician - One week later I developed severe itching between my toes, skin maceration, followed by painful skin fissures ("paper-cut" like tears) between nearly all of my toes, burning, and major sensitivity. My Primary Care Physician has confirmed tinea pedis - caused by dermatophyte fungi (not properly cleaning, sanitizing pedicure tubs, or sterilizing tools). I am now treating what appears to be a fungal skin infection that developed shortly after the service. While I can't say with certainty how or where the infection was acquired, the timing directly followed my pedicure (timeline aligns with the exposure & development of a fungal infection). Untreated or possible progression of this development could lead to Secondary Bacterial Skin Infection, Cellulitis, Lymphangitis, or Sepsis - becoming very serious. I did not notice any visible sanitation concerns during my visit, but given my outcome, I strongly encourage future clients to: * Ask about foot bath disinfection procedures * Ensure tools are properly sterilized * Avoid services if you have any cuts, shaving, or broken skin I hope this review helps others take precautions. I recommend monitoring your feet closely after pedicure services and seeking care promptly if symptoms appear.
